Mystery woodland plant

I have come across this plant several times in the woods of the Baraboo Hills around Devil's Lake state park.

Can anyone identify it?

Thanks.

HAH I just took a look at the next message in the forum, and lo and behold, it is the SAME PLANT. Thanks! :)

It looks to be the genus Goodyera. It's a lovely terrestrial orchid.

Looks like Goodyera pubescens. The flower spikes aren't terribly colorful but all terrestrial orchids are cool to me!

Find this near pines? Seem to associate there in my neck of the woods, but I didn't see needles...
